Abstract

The U.S. Department of State seeks private sector participation in a series of domestic and international events promoting the safe and responsible exploration and use of outer space. Participation of the commercial space sector, academia and other non- governmental organizations in these events will assist the Department of State in fulfilling its responsibilities pursuant to the 2020 National Space Policy and in alignment with Executive Order 14335, "Enabling Competition in the Commercial Space Industry," and Executive Order 14369, "Ensuring American Space Superiority." Private sector participation will also help inform the United States' international engagements and provide an opportunity for participants to better understand international perspectives on pressing outer space issues.
